GPS – Garmin eTrex Vista Cx or Garmin 60CSx??

[admin]

Hey guys!

So I’m looking to get a GPS system for an upcoming trip, and these two are what I’ve narrowed it down to – the eTrex Vista Cx ($236 from Amazon), or the 60CSx ($357 from Amazon).

The only difference that I see between the two is the “High-sensitivity receiver” in the 60CSx. All other differences are either negligible IMHO, or moot for my uses. Here’s a direct comparison between the two from Garmin’s website.

So my question is this: is the High-sensitivity receiver worth the $120 price difference? My uses will be light backpacking/camping.

Thanks in advance!
